I used to write my CV in LaTeX but I recently had the idea of just doing in Figma since it's so much more flexible. And it exports to PDF, obviously.<p>I wanted to create a bunch of free templates for people to use.<p>But I've seen some comments on here that suggest this will produce an unparse-able PDF that will fail many automatic job portals. Is that true?
Why don't you just try it?<p>Having a parse-able CV is definitively the most important criterion for your CV though. Ypu don't have to worry about anything else if it's not parse-able

If you are writing your CV to get a job, the project doesn't make sense (unless the job is about writing in Figma).<p>If you are writing your CV to make Figma templates, then it makes perfect sense.<p>Generally, writing your CV in Figma is easier, more pleasant, and less likely to result in rejection than looking for a job. That might be part of the attraction. Good luck.
